@GregfromZONE5: There are elephant and hippie jokes in this comment thread. So don’t be too sensitive about either.

A little ant got married to a female elephant, and after their wedding night, the elephant died. The little ant said, “Only one night I enjoyed myself, and now, for the rest of my life, I have to dig this grave!"

A gorilla named Susie is helping provide fresh insight into the genetic similarities and differences between people and these endangered apes that are among our closest living relatives.

Scientists on Thursday unveiled an upgraded version of the gorilla genome based on DNA from Susie, an 11-year-old Western lowland gorilla at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, that fills in many gaps present in the first gorilla genetic map published in 2012.

The new research revealed that gorillas and humans are slightly more closely related genetically than previously recognized, with the genomes diverging by just 1.6 percent.

Only chimpanzees and bonobos are more closely related to humans.

I thought Canadians were more closely related to humans than either chimpanzees or bonobos.

Canadian girlfriends have yet to have been discovered by science.

"The calling of names and hurling of abuses such as 'Hathi' [elephant], 'Mota Hathi' [fat elephant] by the appellant in respect of her husband - even if he was overweight, is bound to strike at his self-respect and self-esteem," India Todayquoted Justice Vipin Sanghi as saying.
